Chapter 438 Useless Old Man

Ji Qing imagined that scene, smiled unkindly and patted Chuan Ming's shoulder: "It's okay, just bear with it. I heard that the baby will be born next month, and by then Guo Zhiqing may not like dried fish anymore."

Chu Ming sighed: "This is the only way to comfort myself."

If his wife still likes dried fish, there is nothing he can do but be more tolerant and eat dried fish with her.

I’m afraid if I eat too much, my body will smell like dried fish.

Wang Yuping gently stroked Hongying's lower abdomen and kept reminding her to be careful, walk slowly, and not run around alone.

Listening to Yuping's chatter, Guo Hongying sighed: "Why not let Ji Qing go back first, and you stay and play for a few more days."

Wang Yuping shook her head: "There is still a lot of work to do at home, so I can't stay out for long."

"You should go back when you have time. Everyone misses you." Wang Yuping thought of the news she heard when she was released and whispered, "New educated youths will be arriving at the educated youth center."

Guo Hongying was a little surprised: "When did it happen?"

"It will arrive at the end of this month."

Yu Wanqing said slowly: "This is normal. With so many educated youth leaving, the educated youth office will definitely arrange for new educated youth to come."

"Most of you have moved out. When the new educated youth come, if you can get along well with them, then do so. If you can't, then don't bother with them."

Wang Yuping nodded. "After Ji Qingjian and I moved out, Guodong and Tiesheng moved in together. When we came to Nandao, they had already planned to move out of the educated youth center and make room for the new educated youth."

"We all had the same feeling that it would be impossible to meet educated youth as united as we were."

So stay away, that's the best option.

Yu Wanqing asked, "What about Ou Jianguo and Xiaoyuan? There is no progress on these two yet?"

"Jianguo is also planning to express his feelings to Xiaoyuan. I guess we'll see them together when we return." Wang Yuping couldn't help laughing when she said this: "All of us educated youth have found our own happiness."

Zhang Tiesheng has no intention of finding a partner in the Five-Star Brigade. He has been waiting for an opportunity to return to Guangdong.

Li Guodong didn't want to find someone from the same village, and he couldn't find anyone he liked among the educated youth, so the two of them decided to stick together for warmth.

If there is no opportunity, then just wait. They are living a good life now, there is no need to be so anxious.

"Zhang and Li are moving out because they don't want to get along with the new educated youth." Wang Yuping looked at Yu Wanqing: "Wanqing, in our hearts, some people are irreplaceable."

“We come from all corners of the world, but we are like one family.”

Wang Yuping stepped forward and held Yu Wanqing's hand: "We can't guarantee that we can get along with other people like this."

Yu Wanqing patted her hands and said with a smile, "It's the same old saying. If we can get along, then get along. If we can't, forget it."

"We all live far away from our parents and relatives, so there is no need for us to get used to anyone." Yu Wanqing reminded them with a smile: "If the new educated youth like to make trouble, don't be polite and go find Secretary Zhou."

"Secretary Zhou has plenty of ways to deal with them."

It's just like when I was cleaning myself up, all day long is work, work.

Secretary Zhou tore his own umbrella back then, so he can’t just run up and hold an umbrella for others now.

No, we must treat everyone equally.

Everyone couldn't help laughing when they heard this. Ji Qing said, "Secretary Zhou has indeed been a little idle recently."

"He went to the Yuezhou Pharmaceutical Factory to cause trouble once and almost got the factory director fired. Now many pharmaceutical factories are afraid of him and dare not provoke our Five Star Pharmaceutical Factory." Ji Qing told everyone about Secretary Zhou's heroic deeds: "Now that no one comes to cause trouble, he has free time and spends all day watching the people in the village do their work."

"It feels like when we first arrived at the Youth League Center."

If you are not careful, you will be caught by Secretary Zhou.

The one who was arrested the most times was Yu Zhiqing.

As soon as Ji Qing and his friends returned to the Five-Star Brigade, they called Huo Lanci, and Yu Wanqing was also listening nearby.

Ji Qing smiled and said, "We guessed it right. When we came back, we found that Jianguo and He Zhiqing were already together. Auntie was smiling every day and couldn't wait to hold a wedding for them."

After listening to this, Huo Lanci was also happy for Ou Jianguo and He Xiaoyuan. He glanced at his wife who was laughing secretly beside him, and then chatted with Ji Qing on the other end of the phone for a while.

In the evening, Ji Qing and Wang Yuping delivered dried fish to Secretary Zhou's home. Secretary Zhou looked at the two bags of dried fish on the table and asked, "Is one bag prepared by Zhiqing Guo? Is one bag prepared by Zhiqing Yu?"

Ji Qing nodded: "The secretary is right."

Secretary Zhou curled his lips and said, "Am I the one who needs two bags of dried fish? You've been away for so long and didn't even come back to check on me."

"I haven't called back a few times in a year."

Aunt Zhou smiled and said to Wang Yuping and Ji Qing: "The secretary wants to quarrel with Wanqing."

Secretary Zhou glared at his wife and said, "Why do you say that to everyone? I'm losing face."

I have never seen such a daughter-in-law who spends her time outside and seduce her husband every day.

Ever since the failure of her attempt to have a daughter, Aunt Zhou was no longer afraid of Secretary Zhou. She even thought he was a stubborn old man who deserved to be scolded and often contradicted him.

"What shame do you have?" Aunt Zhou stepped forward and put the dried fish away angrily: "They say that daughters of noble families are considerate. Look, Hongying and Wanqing are not our daughters of noble families, yet they think of us when they have good things."

If I get to know my daughter personally, I wonder how caring she would be.

A useless man who can't even give birth to a daughter.

Thinking of this, Aunt Zhou felt even more aggrieved.

This old man reminded me of my desire to have a daughter, but he turned out to be useless. I have been trying for almost a year, but there is still no news.

Ji Qing noticed that something was amiss between the secretary and the aunt, so he quickly pulled his wife away.

Secretary Zhou saw the two of them out the door before going back to comfort his angry daughter-in-law.

Wang Yuping held Ji Qing's hand as they walked back to the educated youth center. She couldn't help but ask, "Auntie Zhou seems to have a lot of resentment towards the secretary."

Ji Qing shook his head: "Secretary Zhou will definitely have to kneel on the washboard tonight."

"Ah." Wang Yuping was shocked and looked at Ji Qing: "Isn't it a rumor that the secretary knelt on the washboard?"

She had heard people say privately before that Secretary Zhou had offended Aunt Zhou and was punished by being made to kneel on a washboard.

Secretary Zhou never came out to explain, and she thought everyone was joking.

Is this true?

Ji Qing pursed his lips and smiled: "It's true."

"Two months ago, Auntie Zhou asked me to pick up some things to send to Yu Zhiqing and Guo Zhiqing. I happened to see Secretary Zhou kneeling on the washboard. I was so scared that I ran away. I didn't dare let Auntie and Secretary Zhou find out that I knew about this."

Secretary Zhou is a fair and open-minded person. No matter how people discuss this matter, he will always ask cheerfully: When did you see it?

When I really saw it, I didn't dare to show up.

I’m afraid that Secretary Zhou will keep an eye on me.
